Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
It only takes a little amount to foam up your enitre face
Vegan
Cons:
Made my acne worse, After two weeks of using it, my acne has gotten progressively worse, painful red zits that take weeks to go away, leaves scars.
I did not know that it takes 3 months to work, I did not pay $75 to have bad acne that takes three months to go away.
Horrible.
This product made my acne worse, is far too expensize, not worth the wait, and Proactiv is a better choice, its cheaper and has way better reviews.
I want my money back.

Product used: Oxy (Balance Maximum Deep Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
Made face feel really clean.
Cons:
They go buy really fast so the price adds up. It was not a miracle product.
I tried this for 2 or 3 months. They might have helped my acne a little but not enough for me to keep purchasing them.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Gentle Formula)
Pros:
??????
Cons:
Made my mild acne the WORST ever. I have stopped using it for over a month now and I am continuing to break out with large, painful, red cysts and bumps. My skin was never like this before. It did not work for me, and now I'm super depressed!
Don't buy this unless you are willing to take the chance of going through a horrible breakout first, which could be lasting!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
NONE!
Cons:
Very aggressive treatment!
I like to think my skin is pretty versatile, never had a bad reaction to any creams/cleansers etc. However, the first time I used this I had a slight tingling on my face. I didn't think anything of it as I assumed that was the product working. I used it again the following day. As soon as I rinsed it off my face felt like it was on fire. My whole face swelled up, my eyes were swollen almost shut (they stayed that way for TWO DAYS). I had loads of red bumps on my chin and cheeks, and the skin on my face felt like someone had set it on fire!!! I took anti histamines which only helped a little. I last used it on Friday (it's tuesday now) and I'm STILL suffering the effects, My skin is dry, cracked and feels like leather. It's starting to peel off too. Moisturizer doesn't seem to be helping at all. Oh and although it's peeled a lot of my skin off I still have the spots!! Useless! I really regret using this and wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE because of this possible side effect! If I could give it 0/5 I would've!
Pros:
none really but it's really cheap
